There seem to be a few questions that have not been answered yet:

1) Are these files required to be present in the working copy in order for
your application/project to execute successfully?

a) If yes, then what happens if someone decides to check-out a fresh working
copy?
b) If no, then why are they required to remain if they are deleted from the
repository?

Also, remember that it's a simple action to retrieve the version of the file
that was deleted.
